Chances are if you go to the Chinese buffet you have probably seen the crab casserole. I am sure most Chinese restaurants make this casserole different but the one here consists of imitation crab, onion and celery that is topped with cheese. You can easily make this casserole at home just by combining the ingredients in a bowl, spreading the mixture into a casserole dish, topping with cheese and the baking in the oven. If you have had this at the Chinese buffet before, you will know that it is very rich, I would recommend serving it as a side dish. Enjoy.

Just wanted to say this recipie is delicious! I used 3 tablespoons of miracle whip in replace of the sugar and mayo. Turned out wonderful. My husband and I both agreed that the next time we go to the buffet the cheesy crab will never be this good!
